Wonderful Increase In the Value o
Land.

Mrs. J. T. Cover and daughter, who
have been visiting relatives and friends in
this city for some time, have returned to
their home in Los Angeles City, Cal. Mrs.
Covers husband, who died seven years
ago, left a small tract of land which at that
time could not be sold. The land was
valued at very small amount. Mr..
Cover had fought for it's possession for
ten years against railroad company, who
were determined if possible to get the land
away from him. In this they were un-
successful. OF late land in that section of
the country has experienced boom, and
now the prospects are that 500, 900 can be
realized from the one hundred and fifty
acres which belong to Mrs. Cover and
which ten years ago was hardly worth con-
testing for Mrs. Cover has sold seventy
two acres for 1913 900, and she was offered
$500 for the remainder of the land, which
she refused, and the land is now worth
81 900 per acre.
This is an excellent illustration of the in
crease in the value of property in that sec
ton during the last three or four years.
The above is taken from the New
Haven Journal and Courier" of Sep
tember 9TH. Mr.. J. 7. Cover was for
several years resident on the island Of
Maui, and we'll known to many of the
older residents.

= r1eee OF Acadian Canrh.

One of the presents sent to the presi-
dent upon his birthday is worthy of men
ton. 1t was a piece of ''Attakapas Cot
tonade," or Acadian cloth, a peculiar
fabric made only in the Attakapas
country of southwest Louisiana, and once
worn winter and summer by the Acadian
planters Of that region. The material is
peculiar, of cotton and linen, beauti-
full blue, and very thick and heavy 1t is
almost waterproof, and a suit of it will
last for years. Since the war it has al
most gone out of use, as the secret of
making it belongs to the Acadian alone.
The cloth sent to President Cleveland was
spun and woven on the plantation, in the
parish of Iberia, of old Simonette LIE
Blanc, one of the patriarchal planters of
the Attakapas region, who has three
generations of his own descendants living
near him.-Washington Herald.

The Decay of Iron.

Mr. David Stiles, of Middleton, who has
been practical worker in iron with his
own hands for more than fifty years, has
written an interesting letter to The Salem
Gazette, in which he shows by observation
that iron rots from age. He says that the
continual jar has the effect to weaken the
tensile strength of iron, which statement
he illustrates by saying that the step of q
carriage when new may be bent back and
forth without breaking, but after few
years service it will break, no matter how
well preserved. The same loss of tensile
strength is noted in carriage springs. The
poorest may be safely warranted for q
year, but even after that short time they
begin to break, and those of the best quail
ity will break after years of constant and
trying service. The writer has found that
old crOWbars, made of the best Swedish
iron and used by the early settlers of New
England, have become so rotten that they
could not be welded when broken and had
an offensive smell when the welding heat
was applied.
Formerly all iron was wrought by the
trip hammer, which scattered all the brit
tie and worthless material, but the substi
tuition of the rollers makes it possible to
run bars through which contain the poor
est stock Iron made from newly mined
ore, even if of poorer quality, is safer than
that into the manufacture of which scrap
iron is introduced, which is now imported
in large quantities. The writer, as a
practical iron worker, expresses the opin-
ion that, as this scrap iron may be the old
English bar iron, which sixty years ago
was of little value except for heavy ties, it
is unfit for truss or suspension bridges.
The matter to which this man of long eX-
perience calls attention is a very import
ant one and should be made the subject of
general investiga tiOn-Boston Journal.

New YORK, September %. = The

Our way led through the car yards TINT
have taken possession of the whole Of the
old point, where the first ferry from New
Amsterdam to Jersey used to land you, in
the days when Peter Stuyvesant ruled
Manhattan island for the Dutch West In
dia company. It was q heavy day. The
clouds hung low and gloomy, and q sharp
wind pierced the stoutest overcoat. Banks
Of fog hung in and out over the car tracks,
from the bay, and trains rushed out Of
them with sudden and dreadful unexpect-
edness. 1t was q dangerous trip to make
on foot with a clear head and nothing to
do but look out for the locomotive.
But the tangle Of tracks fairly swarmed
with women and children, plodding to and
fro, bent double over the icy ground.
Each carried q basket Of some sort and
cast into 1t Jumps of coal dropped from
the fire pans Of the engines. They were
miserably clad and dripping wet. They
Rugged themselves shudderingly as they
crawied about, and the trains came and
went with furious roarings and funeral
clangings of bells. I am happy to remem-
Der that the bells rang no requiem for
these pitiful cleaners Of a stony harvest
while our Journey lasted.
When we came back to New York and
strolled up along the wharves we con-
stantly met men and women and boys and
girls burdened with bundles Of waste wood
and rotten timber picked up on the piers
or fished out of the docks. At several
places where buildings were torn down
they grubbed and fought for plaster
patched laths and broken planks and
beams among the ruins of the tumbling
walls.

I'M Quad" whose 'Field, Fleet and
Fort is one of the most interesting waR

story Of o strange breastwork. It is of
how the Confederate general McCulloch
In 1858 attacked the Federals at Will
ken's Bend. Six hundred mules were
secured, md each soldier advanced behind
o mule, thus sheltered by a living breast
work. As soon as tho mules came under
fire they reared, plunged md Kicked SO
that they were sources Of danger instead
of safety. The mules were o failure as
breastworks.
The Federals thought the mule bust
ness was a very good joke on tho Con-
federates, but hero is N to match it:
At New Hope some military genius
conceived the idea of breaking the Con
federate line by driving q big herd of
beeves against lit. One night about 10
o'clock, when it was very dark, the
beeves were massed, and the Eedcrals
who were to follow got ready to move.
The C~o1federates caught ion," ms the
Arabs say, and opening their limo allowed
tho beeves to pass through, and then
closing devoted themselves to holding the
Federals in check. In that they were en-
tirely successful. Tho C~onfederates en-.

take more at tho same price. Atlanta
